Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanzaa, Merry MegaChristmas, Festivus and all the rest of it! Warui Deshou is proud to bring you what we hope will become a holiday tradition, our Holiday Special. Join Vorgelia, Doc and Shadon as they count down their top five anime of the year, play a few games, share some laughs, and thank some folks who’ve helped out Warui Deshou along the way this year. There might even be a visit from our old pal, Zyvox. We all hope this will make your holiday a bit brighter. We love you all! Thank you for listening, and Merry Christmas!

As a Christmas gift to ourselves, we didn’t edit this episode. We filtered the tracks as usual, but no fine-tuning, cutting and pasting nonsense. As such, you will hear some cross talk, some jokes we’d normally cut, some coughing, some silences. Think of this as a live-to-tape sort of show. We will bring back our editing hand next time, we promise!

THIS IS NOT OUR TYPICAL FORMAT. Check numbered episodes to get an idea of what the show is usually like.

This show features music by Michael Kelly, Frank Sinatra and myuu, with sound effects from freesound.org. Zyvox’s Computer is voiced by Code Welt as always, and our lady robot is voiced by soundoftext.com as always.

It’s been a long time coming. We recorded this show back in August. We have no excuse…but better late than never! And, at least this podcast is about an excellent anime, Leiji Matsumoto and Daft Punk’s sci-fi masterpiece Interstella 5555.

In this first part of our Interstella show, we talk about what the thing is, how it came together, our personal histories with it, and some high-level, spoiler-free stuff we really really like about it. If you’ve never seen this anime, we hope we can sell you on it, and if you have seen it, then we hope you’ll hear about it ONE MORE TIME.

Also: what is the best scene in anime involving a shark? Who was the actress that inspired Leiji Matsumoto’s iconic female character design? Did Shadon spoil Harry Potter for you? Let us know.
